Tabata I'm Gonna Make You Cry!

Have you ever heard of the crazy workouts they call TABATA?! There's a whole website about it HERE. Basically what it is is a FOUR MINUTE WORKOUT! Wait! What?! You heard me, FOUR MINUTES! These are perfect for those crazy days where you anxiously want to workout, but feel you really have no time. But hey, you have 5 minutes before a quick shower--you have time for a TABATA!

The breakdown.

You do 20 seconds of something hardcore. We are talking an 11 on a scale of 1-10! 

Then, you get 10 seconds to catch your breath. 

Repeat this for only FOUR MINUTES! Then you are done.

Here are some ideas:

20 sec Jumping Jacks

10 sec off

-repeat 8 times-

OR

20 sec Burpees

10 sec off

-repeat 8 times-

OR if you have A.D.D. like me:

20 sec Jumping Jacks

10 sec off

20 sec Burpees

10 sec off

20 sec Pushups

10 sec off

20 sec Sprints in place

10 sec off

-repeat twice-

Get the idea?! You can basically do anything that is quick cardio. You will be exhausted after FOUR MINUTES if you do it correctly and then you will so be feeling like you got in a good workout even though it was short!

Shape has a great selection of these! Check out there ideas HERE.

Have more time than just FOUR MINUTES? Try Fitsugars routine HERE (or pictured below) I'm not gonna lie. We may be doing this one in my Friday's class!

ENJOY!
